Galdi approached 2021 with positivity and confidence. We wanted to begin the year with a fresh start, by officially opening the Galdi Village, a place to fill, the new building dedicated to our staff and the local community located right next to the production plant. Along with valuing “connections” and the well-being of our team, we wanted to strengthen our relationships with institutions and the local community, with whom we had only interacted online during the pandemic. As for sustainability, our ongoing efforts have focused on making our manufacturing plants increasingly more efficient, reducing our products’ environmental impact and engaging our employees in the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The sixth edition of Galdi’s Green Report illustrates the progress we have made so far, with the goal of bringing all stakeholders together and a keen desire to cope with difficult times as a big team!

For model RG270, we adopted for the first time the Eco Design approach, which focuses on the environmental impact during the design stage too. The decision to use this new development approach was based on the outcome of an in-depth analysis we carried out with the University of Padua to appraise the impact of our fillers in terms of Carbon Footprint and Water Scarcity Footprint.

Making our machines increasingly more efficient is our goal, albeit not the only one! In the development stage, we always consider the solutions that have the least impact on our planet, since efficiency means first and foremost wasting fewer resources.
